A few of the older houses in our part of Los Feliz - the ones set up high off the road, with a good number of stairs up to them - also have curving miniature railroads, like tracks in mines, with little carts that can run up and down them to carry one's shopping or suitcases or bags of potting soil. I'm not quite sure what one should call them: "funiculars" isn't quite right, because funiculars - like Angels' Flight - operated on a balancing system - as one car goes up, the other one goes down. Do tell me, if you know ... In this case, I doubt they're going to be hauling their Christmas tree or turkey up to the house this way, since the whole contraption has been taken over by a herd of reindeer.
